Beit known that I, Josn'rn' W 'Ten HAwl Kms, a citizen of the UnitedStates, 'and a'. resident o f Passaic, the fcountynf Passaic' and Stateof."New"Jersey,l have invented a e object of the invention'iste a 'newand improved shaving-brush arranged to collect the drippin', and thusprevent the manipulating the 'brush to apply Water and` lathento theface and .to allow of freshenn of the lather bythe drip-'water' gather Afurther object ,is to permit' folding of the brushY to take up veryhttleroom-for travel-v -1n packing, and storing purposes;v

he invention consists ok'novel features and l parts .and `i'o'mbinationsof thel same which will be more fully described hereinafter and thenpointed out inthe claims.
